Think I just found a new favorite hockey team.
Was she reading Fall; or, Dodge in Hell? Because that was definitely my reaction.

I'm sorry for doing that bank heist, your honour. It's just that, like, once you get to be around 30, it just seems to become impossible to get all your buddies together for some fun times, and sometimes you just get wrapped up in the magic of spending time with friends, and, well, one thing leads to another.
The entire plot of every episode of Leverage be like
“Tumblr age verification will not be needed,” tumblr staff stated upon confirming every single blog on the site is more than 10 years old.
“If you were literate enough to be posting about Johnlock in 2015 we can kind of just assume you’re good,” staff elaborated even though we did not ask them to.
the plot of leverage:
I’ve been in those meetings with executives. They’re very fast. They talk about AI and the future of the industry. I’ve been pitched by companies who are going to develop new ways to make movies for less with AI. How many pages do you have? Because I can go off on how I feel about this stuff. ... We tried to create a villain that isn’t a HAL 9000 or Skynet. Our villain is much, much worse than that because it wants you to like it. So much of what AI has initially been focused on is how to keep us engaged. What do we buy? What do we consume? More importantly, what do we hate? We’re writing our worst attributes into its source code, and it’s generating so much stuff back into the internet that it’s starting to drink its own piss. I want to buy an Encyclopedia Britannica, pre-AI, just so I can be like, “We used to know this shit.” There’s this fundamental drift, and in our case, we’ve made the choice to make our [AI] villain a whiny little bitch. “Why don’t you like me?” That’s the real horror. Why is AI helping me write a song or tell a story? I don’t want it to breathe or fuck for me; I want it to solve cancer. Send some shit through a black hole; do something that we can’t do. Or dig a ditch; do the shit we don’t want to do. Why is it coming after the stuff that we essentially need to do to be human beings? [AI chatbots] have been saying to kids, “You can do it! You can commit suicide.” So they’ve had to recall and retool and adjust its sycophantic quality so that it doesn’t encourage anyone else to do that. If that’s not ripe for a kick in the nuts, I don’t know what is. These are AI’s formative years, and we’re fucking with it in a way. What is it doing to us — and what are we doing to it? I don’t know if anybody’s asking that question. There’s no sense of it being born free of our shit. If man was made in God’s image and Gods need to be worshiped, is that why there’s so many narcissists in the world? Did we inherit that? Is that woven into our DNA? So all these executives who are manipulating AI’s core code at the moment it’s becoming potentially sentient, what is that going to do to it?

How does all this make you feel?

WOW. This is long, but really explains a lot of why the current landscape of films is the product of culture, politics, economics, etc.
HAVE Z AND ALPHA NOT BEEN MADE AWARE? HAVE WE FAILED AT CONTINUING TO MEME THE HELL OUT OF IT? ARE WE, IN FACT, THE GRANDMAS BECAUSE WE ARE THE ANCIENT KEEPERS OF THE INCEST COFFEE KNOWLEDGE???

(If anybody is wondering “how could they write that and not anticipate the reaction?“ It’s because the sister was supposed to be much younger in the original draft. Like. An actual child. But they aged her up and never bothered changing the dialogue, so…)
It’s honestly not the writing or the age, or even the acting that screams “incest.”
It’s the directing and camera work. It’s specifically the long lingering gazes.
The best part of waking up is getting to read this incest oral history.
I’m begging you to read the oral history of this commercial. It features some banger quotes and also Timothy Simons, aka Jonah from Veep, who worked the camera for the auditions and callbacks.
Happy Folgers Incest Commercial season to all who celebrate!
stolen off instagram but i laughed so hard when i saw this
You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.
Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.
And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.
Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.
On a related note, that post also opened up the world of naps for me. I used to think that napping was mostly pointless for me, because I'm pretty much incapable of falling fully asleep in the middle of the day. But when I redefined naps to include "lying down with my eyes shut for an hour," even if I just spent the whole time brainstorming fanfiction, that was often enough to get me from "exhausted and running on 4 hours of sleep" to energized and refreshed
